Nicki Minaj Thanks The President For Understanding Her Sarcasm On Mitt Romney

With the upcoming election drawing near, any stance on politics can draw up a sensitive reaction, especially when you are someone of influence who is going against the majority. [Or at least who people think you should be voting for.]

Last week, Lil Wayne dropped his mixtape, ‘Dedication 4′ and Nicki Minaj ruffled up some feathers after she spit a verse on “Mercy’ which made it seem as though she was endorsing Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney:

“I’m a Republican voting for Mitt Romney/You lazy b-tches is f-cking up the economy.”

Although Nicki Minaj probably didn’t think much of the line when she agreed to do the mixtape track, her comment was blown up to epic proportions in the media, with even the President commenting on what she had said. In an interview with Orlando’s Power 953, he alluded that he didn’t take what she said very serious and that it was probably one of her “characters”:

“I’m not sure that’s actually what happened. I think she had a song on there, a little rap that said that, but she likes to play different characters. So I don’t know what’s going on there.”

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj has been hush-hush about the whole thing until she heard that the President actually talked about her in an interview. She jumped on Twitter to thank him for understanding her “creative humor and sarcasm” while giving a shout out to her “haters”:

“Ha! Thank you for understanding my creative humor & sarcasm Mr. President, the smart ones always do… *sends love & support* Awesome! Now I can tell my grandchildren that the 1st black President of the United States took the time to address a Nicki Minaj question. Thanks haters! Lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooo. #BarbzWinAgain ahahhahaahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahhahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Here’s the issue. Yes, she may have gotten some publicity out of the deal but although it may have been just sarcasm on a mixtape, Nicki may have forgotten how much influence she really has over her audience and people in general. If she’s voting for Romney, let her vote. That’s her personal choice. We can’t slam someone who doesn’t have the same political stance because it’s a free country.’ But when it’s just sarcasm which ends up getting blown out of proportion in the press, that can turn into another story.

Politics are very serious especially with the upcoming election drawing near. With each party attempting to convince voters that they are the right person to take office, when you drop someone’s name out of sarcasm, it has to be understood that there are people that will not be able to tell whether you are endorsing that person for office or not. This is definitely a valuable lesson to all entertainers and people with some sort of influence, however, Nicki Minaj isn’t completely at fault. The fact that some are getting their political knowledge and may choose who they are voting for based on some Nicki Minaj lyrics on a Lil Wayne mixtape, proves there may be far bigger issue to worry about.

I wish I knew the question President Obama was specifically asked…For him to say thats not what happened. Anyways I never liked Nicki b/c her stupidity act & this amplifies my disgust for her….Overrated knock-off….

& I bettttt she was “one of the lazy b*tches ****** up the economy” before Lil Wayne got to her. I hate when people act brand new once they get a lil bit of money….As quickly as it comes it can leave….

if im not mistaken isnt Nicki a child of government help? dnt quote me but didnt she say that in her MTV special? isnt that why she bought her mother and brother a house, to get them out the hood? smh and she wonder why she gets no love from NY

Didn’t someone say she wasn’t even registered to vote so her support won’t do much because that’s the best way to show it

I would sincerely hope that parents are teaching their kids to do their own research when it comes to politics and watch CNN instead of listening to Nicki Minaj and her lyrics… smh … As a parent, I make sure that my kids, whether they are 5 or 19, know about the elections and know about all of the issues that both parties present. And I make sure that those who are 18 and over, are registered to vote and use that right to vote and actually VOTE!

The fact that she takes this as a compliment is just…
Her and her brain dead fans don’t even realize that he dismissed her and her foolish lyrics.

@Such a lady thank you!!!! Kid Fury and his b-l-o-g readers were clowning her for not know that she was actually dissed and took it as a compliment!! I swear they gave me life last night after a long day!! All I have to say concerning the matter is POOR LIL TINK TINK ….

Ps. The rich 1% are actually ********* up the economy but there’s no way she could possibly understand that!!

Hmm.. okay Nicki. Anyways in other news just wanna give my fellow Amercians encouragement. Although I’m Canadian I would vote for President Obama. But I can’t so vote y’all #TeamObama

+3True. Reply:September 11th, 2012 at 7:13 pm

like I really wish she would use her “influence” in a more positive light. encourage teens to go to colllege, vote? stay in school? something. All she ever speaks about is sex, drugs, money, and pole polishers.

@TakeCare…exactly Nicki just wanted attention and she got it….and Obama is just that dude…he’s always>>>>>>>>>>the BS : )

i honestly doubt Nicki knows anything about the issues, or even have her registration card for her to vote, so for her to ever give her two cents on politicians is void, Obama gave a great answer, he aint taking her seriously cuz mama is a freakin character

The President may no who she is..but i bet you $10.000 Mitt Romney LOL!!!!!!!

+1Nae Reply:September 12th, 2012 at 9:40 am

Lmaoo, she needs to take a seat now that everybody is bashing her about it she wants to say something.
I dont even know why they asked the President about her like it is relevant! lol, that is just going to make her feel more “important” than she is.

I love, no scratch that I LOVED Nicki, but over the last 3 years she did a complete transformation & it ain’t a good one.

No Ma'am Reply:September 11th, 2012 at 2:10 pm

ITA and whether I get thumbs down or not, my pov is, as long as I know who I’m voting for in November, it doesn’t matter. Whether she was using it as a metaphor or not, I don’t listen to her for her political affiliations, I listen because I like what I hear. There are a lot of black republicans, we’re not stoning them. It was only an uproar cause she’s black and she raps

Ummm NO it was an uproar bc she used to be one of the “lazy BICTHes ******* up the economy” now she’s talking **** like she was never down. Don’t forget where you came from ho bc those Young Money checks will be pretty hard to come by when the stupid ppl that DO buy her music(for what, I dont know) turn their backs on her, Roman & everybody else living in that plastic *** body.

+16Tanika Reply:September 11th, 2012 at 3:40 pm

Yeah it is because she is black. How as a Black person can you endorse someone whose campaign slogan is the same as the kkk. Also no one ever brings up the fact that during one of his speeches he said he can “relate to Black people because his ancestors owned slaves” and “if he were elected he would bring a sense of work ethic back to the Black community”. I’m sorry I am a woman whose rights he cares nothing about, but I am Black first. She certainly needed to do her homework. I would not even have mentioned his name. She can certainly vote for who she wants, it is a free country. But please don’t expect those same Black people who bought your albums to support you after some ish like this. Dis one of us you are dissing us all. Nomney only cares about the 1% who has $$$$, believe that.

+3INWHYSEE Reply:September 11th, 2012 at 10:33 pm

I really don’t get it.

Jay-Z can endorse Obama, announce who he’s voting for in the middle of a sold out arena, and pretty much market the entire Presidential movement to the young people – AND NIKI MINAJ IS WRONG FOR VOICING HER POLITICAL STANCE??? (even if it was tacky and sarcastic).

GET OVA IT.

I’m no Romney fan, but let’s be really real. This issue is getting outta hand because of race, not politics. (well i guess it’s all the same thing).

Not only yall some lazy b!+*h3z for even caring, yall are also stupid for forgetting the first amendment. She makes her own money, she is a “real grown” woman. She can say whatever she wants.

yea…i hope she knows tho that she is not the only rapper/artist that he has mentioned or gave mention to,didnt he talk about Jeezy being one of this favorite rappers?or something like that(dont quote me)
lol yea i knew she prolly did that lil line on purpose…
she is so extra with the laugh tho…ugh

Nah it wasn’t. If you hear the interview. He was like on some I think she was just kidding guys…why yall mad? I don’t get it. Yea he mentioned Jeezy too and Jeezy was HYPPEEEE!!!!!!! And Jay was HYPEEEE that he went to the white house and it was big deal when he called Kanye an ***** so why downplay him defending Nicki ?

These salty b-tchies on this,site don’t like nicki simple as that and glorify there favs,Jay-z and Jeezy was hype when Obama addresses them,so now nicki gets the same treatment and is happy about it all off you is catching feelings.

+1My Hair is Laid Like You Could Never Keep Up With A BI(c)TH Like Me Reply:September 11th, 2012 at 5:35 pm

Im glad Nicki & Obama addressed this because I was honestly tired of hearing about it.

This is all I seen on twitter…”OMG I CAN’T NICKI IS REPUBLICAN, SHE JUST LOST A FAN” shut up, its just a punchline. I wouldn’t care if if she was communist tbh. We all know how playful Nicki is, you shouldnt be taking her lyrics to heart & soul.

Yeah it is that serious when we know most of her fans are young & some just voting for the first time this year. You can’t be making statements like that when the youth vote played such a major part in getting Obama elected in 2008. You don’t understand how much of an influence these celebs have on young minds. What if they thought she was serious & went out & voted for Romney & cost Obama the election? Would it be a big deal then? Yeah she can say what she wants but also expect the backlash when you do. Along with freedom comes responsibility.

Her 18+ fans know better. Most of her older fans knew she joking, they were the ones defending Nicki, cause Nicki sure as hell wasn’t defending herself…until now. It would be absurd to believe that all her fans would go out support Romney.

Fans are not followers, they’re supporters.

she can do whatever she want,others did similar stuff like that in the pass and i am sure those people have young fans too,you people just loves to fling nicki under the bus,nothing new.

+19briJ Reply:September 11th, 2012 at 2:00 pm

Nicki knew EXACTLY what she was doing when she said that in the song. She wanted attention. She wanted a reaction out of everybody and that’s what she got.

I liked the way the President handled it. He was dismissive without being negative or catty. That is why he is a successful politician. He knows how to play the game without showing undue emotion. He is very cool, calm, and collected. I really like Necole’s editorial about the impact that Nicki’s ignorance can have on the public. But like she said, who in the hell is taking political advice from that stripper/rapper cartoon character? You want to listen to elementary, forgettable, pop/rap? Listen to Nicki Minaj. You want political advice? Read a newspaper, a news website, or a book.

exactly!!! I hate that they even ask him questions regardin celebrities and ****, this really ****** me off, they dont respect him. They never asked other presidents about what celebrities and musicians said about them this should have never been entertained and obama should have treated the interviewer for asking that!

That is because they associate blacks to entertainment and sports. So yeah, when people see him, they can’t help but go there. He has been hanging out with some entertainers, so they cannot really help it.

She Cant Vote i dont think…She’s NOT an American Citizen. She moved to the states when she was like 9 or so…maybe 11. Hell Drake can’t vote neither…He’s Canadian. lol … and i dont think she was sarcastic.. i never heard the song and dont even give a ***** bout her lol…

Obama is regular at ‘Rap Genius’, a site dedicated to the translation of lyrics by rap artists (for the most part) , he’s been there since the site’s inception. So him responding to it really doesn’t shock hip-hop heads to say the least.

And Necole, Nicki is fully aware of how large her fan base is, she’s not stupid. Either it was a full on plot to see if someone of influence would actually get it, or just another one of her more careless lines via Roman. Either way, I think it really was stupid for people to have their ‘panties in a bunch’ over it because it proves that after all this time, her barbs really don’t know her. So the joke really was on them if you look at it.

Thank you…you said the exact words that I would. That goofy Bish is such a clown. Now she wants to jump on his “you know whats” because he commented on her extra whack lyrics. I can’t wait until her time of shine fades. She’s super annoying!!

Uh shes not even registered to vote………. So this just shows you how dumb she is.

These artists should choose their words wisely. No one can make this economy better i dont care what they promise.

But I would always vote for the black person. He did do important things such as the bin laden ish but no one cares about that.

It will take more than 4 years to get this country in shape. My background is finance and now they hire temps they dont hire for permanent jobs which causes the economy to still be bad, along with short sales and foreclosures people are losing their homes and everything still.

But I cant blame Obama, he gave tax initiatives and all sorts of things to get companies to hire, but they still arent hiring

they asked him that question. & boy oh boy did we find out that our president is king of shade.
you have to hear the interview for yourself. obama is either a really good sneak disser or nicki minaj is as fatuous as she dresses because he sneakily read her to filth. the shade was strong, i’m talking dark clouds & rain for 40 days & night. HOW COULD SHE POSSIBLY GET ANYTHING GOOD FROM WHAT OBAMA SAID?

obviously you gave yourself away as just a 13yr old nicki stan because conservatives are the sensitive ones. no but go ahead & vote for him he LOVES the gays,women who want to have a choice in what they do with the things that come out of their coocoo,& your good imigrant friend nicki.

Think of what the story would be if HE DIDN’T respond, or just said “Who?” Then the headline would be “President Obama Throws Shade at Nicki Minaj.” That man is smart. He knows the youth and his black constituents are fans of hers, so he couldn’t diss her like that. He had to answer the question (no matter how irrelevant it was) or it would have created an uproar.

Whatever nicki. I think nicki is a *nicki voice* giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmick. But I still like her. She is a thirsty attention whore, and that is okay with me. I just hope she gets it together and opens her MIND before she opens her MOUTH. at the end of the day, wether you want to be, or not, there are people who look up to you and you should set a standard for people, especially younger women to follow. And while you’re at it, give a shout out to lil kim because you are nothing without her.

*** kim what you mean nothing without her,when nicki was underground doing her thing trying to make it did kim shout her out,*** kim and whoever is looking for a dap from nicki,nicki don’t rap are act like kim what two pink hair is that what all this is about.

she such an idiot! there are so many idiots trying to follow everything shes does she shoulda said vote obama if she was bout him if not then she shoulda said just playing after the line or something! jeez!

BOTTOMLINE IS SHE MADE A STATEMENT IN BRAGGING IT WAS NOT MEANT TO BE BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION/TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT!! PERIOD
PPL MAKE IGNORANT STATEMENTS FOR THE SAKE OF MUSIC ALL THE TIME ON TWITTER & PPL ON THIS SITE CAPE FOR THEM NEXT >>>

@FAF you’re a hyprocrite. Every time there’s a Nicki Minaj post & someone says something negative about her u say “then why you on this post or yall forever hating on nicki yall stay mad or something like that” (im not saying you’re doing this now but usually) but when it’s somebody you don’t like (Beyonce) you’re always postin on there things & saying how fake they are & how much u don’t like them. What’s going on???

Nicki is ignorant and when I heard she “endorsed” or joked about voting for Romney I was a bit irritated as well. I assumed it was a joke or a slick comment in a rap said for shock value but thought it was a reckless statement. We see all these kids with pink and blonde hair trying to emulate her and its very obvious she has influence over her fan base so if she’s truly 4 Obama things like that should not be rapped about especially so close to the the presidential election.

^^^ u are so beat…like u make sure to be on every one of Nicki’s posts responding to people u dont agree with..
lemme give a piece of advice baby girl people are not gonna like her&other artists u might like…get over it,she aint paying u to stick up for her lol.

Yeah it was still ignorant for her to say that but what can you expect from a IGNORANT artist. She obviously has a lot of influence on people, and its sad that most of her fans dont have a mind of their own.

Don’t be trying to clean it up now Nikki!!! Lol!! Yea….she fealt the wrath of *TEAM OBAMA* That goes to show you these rappers say what ever sounds good on wax. Yea I know….it’s a free country and we can support whom ever we please but the point is NIKKI just keep it real!!!

Well written. Nicki Minaj has to take more responsibility on this lyric. Like c’mon now she knows how much of an influence she has on hr fans. Also an I the only one that though Mr. President was shading Nicki with that character comment lol. In other words, “you can’t take the girl too seriously. Aka she ain’t ishh” LOL

Ive always liked Nicki and never had anything against her. Always felt happy for her when she was doing big things etc. But lately ive been starting to dislike her. I been seeing this Diva-ish typa attitude coming from her that is just pushing me away.

WOW as a woman i really wanted to support her, but I can’t get over the fact that she does the most childish **** to get attention. I can no longer invest any more money in a person who has totally stop doing it for the beauty of the craft and now only does it for the sake of fame,money,and shock value. Her value has really gone down since Pink Friday came out and Wayne and baby and them need to stop boosting up her head. She is nothing more than a gimmick and her time will come tumbling down in due time. I really hope it was worth selling her soul because she has definitely sold it to the highest bidder “Hollywood”. Someone needs a a slice of humble pie ASAP

Because this comment was made so close to the election, Barack knows how influential each and every statement and movement about the race is important. We all know that Nicki fans are a bunch of mindless sheep, so the POTUS needed to make sure not to dismiss her or speak negatively about her character. You know her crazed Bootleg Barbie fans will attack anything against her like RABID DOGS. Which could, in turn, affect his poll numbers (sad state of the world when your political ideaology is based on a Flavor-of-the-Moment rapper). Barack is not a dummy!

But its funny that here MINDLESS sheep picked up her sarcasm and took the line for what it was…..they weren’t the ones sending her death threats via twitter and blogs…..that was #teamobama….which is said because he doesn’t stand for such things….lets be real the only people who took the sooo called influential line seriously were people who already hated her

& FOR PPL WHO DONT CARE / DONT LIKE HER I’M SENSING A LACK OF COMMON SENSE IN THIS POST U CLICKING IT GIVING HER RELEVANCE GIVING HER HITS & LEVERAGE TO DISS U ON TRACKS!! SHE GETTING HER $$$ CAN Y’ALL SAY THE SAME???

Unless your the president of the “I hate Nicki” club then you should do the same. Let ppl defend or degrade whoever they want. It be yall same fools on Kim posts saying she look fly when she clearly looks like a blow up doll that was run over by a Mack Truck.

I’m so tired of her & all of her gimmicks! PERIOD! No class whatsoever. Stand by your decision if that’s how u really feel woman…! Nobody cares! I just feel like she never expected him to actually address it… So she tryna play it off…

Stupid little need to be loved ass *****. Like wtf, give a hoe an inch, she will take a mile! That wasn’t in support of you, you basic Whore! He was basically saying you’re an irrelevant idiot who’s schizophrenic ass just put him in one of your little insignificant raps! You’re pressed just because he mentioned your name good or bad. Pathetic.

okay, regardless if ppl shouldnt have taken offense to what she said or not. the point is that yes she does say things and do things for attention but using this upcoming election to make it about you is immature. Nicki please sit down with that comment b/c if u think this was humorous it def wasnt, i dont think ppl who are struggling want to be referred to as “lazy *******”. Yes some take advantage of government assistance and then their are some who just use it as a stepping stool so they can get where they need to be financially. Nicki…if its one of your other personalities telling u to say something, do us a favor,ignore it and keey quiet. anyways, #OBAMA2012:)

This is much ado about nothing, she is a rapper she is not a politician, if her rapping about supporting Romney influenced anyone then they are the idiots, you don’t vote for someone based on what someone else beliefs are you vote for them after reviewing their record, their issues, the way that they plan to address the issues at a hand and using your own good common sense. I hope that everyone takes voting seriously and does not just vote for someone because it is the popular choice or the choice that is pleasing to everyone. One thin that did concern me was the idiotic statements about who she said she was voting for. If indeed she was voting for Romney then that is her decision and her right, being black or white, rich or poor does not dictate who you vote for, just because we are black we cannot brow beat other people to vote the way that other blacks are voting. Voting is a right an an individual choice and when you go in that booth you can vote for whoever you choose too, too many people died to give us that right and we need to stop just giving it away every four years. I’m glad that some people had enough sense to appreciate her humor and sarcasm and not loose their minds over what she said. SMH!!!! we realllllllllllllllllly need to do better!!

I like his response. I think he was being a lil sarcastic his self with the “I don’t know what’s going on there. I know she likes to play different characters” Lol In other words “The chick is crazy and there is no telling which CLOWN she was that day, so who cares.” Lol Love my President.

Honestly, if you follow politics you’d know that Mitt Romney basically says that Americans who are not wealthy or are struggling are “lazy” and that is why our economy is messed up, because of lazy people, not the fact that the government has screwed us over. Knowing that, her comment was really a play on Mitt Romney’s words and I thought she was making fun of him. She’s not even registered to vote so why would anyone take the comment seriously? It’s our own faults that we give entertainers so much power instead of trying to educate people on serious political matters.

Well she didn’t say anything to indicate that she was joking. She said “I’m a Republican” There is no reason for me to believe she wouldn’t be. With Romney’s stance on cutting tax for the rich it would not be far fetched for her to be a Republican. His stance on personal issues don’t effect her one way or another as long as she has money and he is trying to keep more of it in her pocket. So no, I didn’t think she was joking. And now that I know she was I find it repulsive. I can respect her stance one way or another, but do not appreciate her playing games.

@ hahaha
the reason he addressed the comment made by nicki, is because he knows she has a huge fan base and he just was’nt taking any chances, that her fans might actuallly think she was endorsing mitt “cheesy grits” “etch o sketch” romney.

I don’t understand why anyone would ask the president about this woman child. Was it that serious that they had to ask him about it? And don’t be fooled. Nicki was not being sarcastic, she meant every word she said but using it as a short to other female rappers and black women out there. The president is just too busy and has no clue what this woman is about. He answers as advised.
After reading that Michelle Obama and Kerry Washington speeches, it deflates me to read such, because in effect, it takes away from what those two sensible beautiful black women did. But I digress.

Who cares who she votes for. I think I read somewhere that she isn’t even registered. Is she going to tell her grandkids that ****? I swear folks are way too invested. I think the motto should be changed from YOLO to IDGAF!

She knows she was just trying to get attention that’s why she said she wins again because she got what she wanted, she is not even registered to vote so it really does not matter now anyway. I guess every time she says or does something controversial now she is going to blame it on one of her “Characters” lol

Sarcasm or not…….she should’ve kept it to herself….and if she is voting for Romney…that’s her personal choice…..I just don’t appreciate her “humor and sarcasm” cause it wasn’t that long ago that she was one of those “lazy *******” sitting her busted ass on that stoop trying to get a deal….and those same “lazy *******” are the ones that’s buying her music and over priced concert tickets……sarcasm…yeah..okay….real funny.

You also left out the question, does his daughters listen to Nikki and he said NO. Thank goodness parents that have some sense not to expose their children to this ignorant child because she is not a woman. Does anything for attention.

thank you – THAT’S the important part.
*sigh* Nicki isn’t even registered…..and honestly, that statement he did make sounded like a toned down diss….”so I don’t know what’s going on there” to me means this chick is irrelevant to me and mine.

This female (because she’s not a REAL woman) needs to go somewhere and sit her multiple personality behind down, and she needs to take that word HATERS with her. Like yeah, there are so many women in the world who are jealous of a female who looks like a cross between bozo the clown and aunt jemima. Like someone else said, I can’t stand people who come up and get a little bit of money and then start acting like their S–T don’t stink.

It’s not a multiple personality issue. People have given her the perfect excuse to get away with half the **** that she gets away with. This woman does not have a personality disorder. She chose to be the way she is after signing that contract with her cronies and bosses. She chose to be the way that she is and sell whatever she is selling to children. She is no fool. They sat down and discussed what market to target and how they could target it. She has no guilty feelings whatsoever, and sleeps well at night. Was it not her who chose to have a big butt in order to succeed, because she believed a big butt could get het success? She had her ideas of what it needed to be a success. She is very calculating, this lyric was equally calculated and it was not sarcasm. Just because the nice president decided to pass it on as a multiple personality issue, it doesn’t mean it was. It means she got away with murder.

I agree with you NecOle. But for me that was the end of my Njcki Miniaj support. This chick has to understand her comment was not cool on any any level be she joking or not. This election is critical and her wreck less remarks have serious repercussions. I am over this chick and want her to have several seats her and all her personalities. “Stupid Hoe”

Yeah,…….Obama,…..don’t even lower your standards to address this clown…..let me do it….my standards are already low……”.Forget barbie!… fu ck Nicki she’s fake!
she’s on a diet but her ass is like cheese cake!!”

……now Obama,…ALL I need you to say is…..”I’m Barack Obama, and I approve this message!!”

7 personalitys, that’s a good one!!:)
Glad I’m not into her music!
She s just too much, wonder if she ever wants to just be normal??
Take all that clown stuff off, and just put on pair of jeans and just Go??!!!

If anyone took her seriously and decided to vote republican b/c they thought she was one….then that person definitely shouldn’t be going to anyone’s polls smh.Nicki really shouldn’t have influence on the way people think about politics. That’s just goofy.

Obama responded to it during a brief radio interview. If you want to hear it go on worldstarhiphop.com. its on the second or third page i think. I am happy Obama brushed it off, you think he cares what nicki minaj thinks? He got alot of S*** to worry about, i dont know maybe stuff like trying to get re-elected. lol If he aint stressing it, we shouldnt. We all know that nicki isnt a wise cookie.

YOU GUYS ARE TOTALLY PATHETIC ..LIKE SERIOUSLY GROW UP ALREADY THE FACT THAT YOU’RE MAKING JOKES AND TALKING ABOUT HER AND THE SITUATION MAKES YOU LOOK GOOFY AS HELL BECAUSE YOU’RE TAKING TIME TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION.

Nicki, you need more people. He is more like laughing at you rather then standing up for your foolishness. You mentioned sensitive subject and you call that creative humor and sarcasm? oh ok. Your profession should be a clown since you have creative humor and sarcasm. Hr rliterally called you bi-polar with the many characters since you are an unstable creature.

Damn not feeling Nicki Minaj on this one guest it means more to her letting the lower class feels the pain cuz once you make it big nothing matter but keeping your millions and keep it rolling high. damn the mid class people lett’m suffer.

I don’t understand how these rappers can use their mics to spread so much ignorance! You have a world-wide audience and you use it to spread nothing but promote negative stereotypes and materialism. And of course continue to promote the n-word! Can you imagine what those whose shoulders we are standing on are doing now – rolling in their graves!

Nicki!!! The president was not being “Understanding”… HE WAS SHADING THE *** OUT OF YOU!!! BI(c)TH DON’T YOU GET IT!!! He does not take you seriously because you’re not the type of artist ANYBODY takes seriously.

Wasn’t she born in Trinidad? Didn’t she come here on a temporary Visa? So, is she even eligible to vote? Let us ask pertinent questions. Lets do some homework before we begin believing what an ‘entertainer’ is saying.

that is so true of everything i’ve heard so far…She doesn’t realize the bigger picture. She needs to come out and say I’m voting for Obama and what the lyrics really meant. Cause really the only people that messed up the economy was the REPUBLICANS LAZY RICH BEHINDS NOT OBAMA OR THE DEMOCRATS.OBAMA HAS SPENT 4 YEARS TRYING TO CLEAN UP WHAT BUSH DID. NICK THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU SAY BECAUSE YOUR FOLLOWERS MAY VOTE FOR ROMNEY BECAUSE OF YOU SAYING THAT. THAT’S WHY WE HAVE TO MEAN WHAT WE SAY AND SAY WHAT WE MEAN SO THERE WON’T BE CONFUSION.#LORDHELPUS or #LORDHELPNICKI’SMIND

Y’all really and truly hate Nicki Minaj. It’s sorta of overwhelming. Anyway, the interviewer was asking the President a series of questions about hip hop and music. The President used it as a moment to elevate relevance with the younger demo. It was cool on both ends.

I stan for Nicki but she erred here Please don’t mess with Hopey like that! That is just a no no in my book. Like I said before, even though I am not American, I stan for Hopey all I can. He inspires me to no end!

And this is why I can’t stand the genre of rap/hip hop. Chile sit down. So your bars make sense how? You said it not us. Girl choke on something. Sorry but this chick is getting on my last! Idgaf who she votes for but the point is this chick had so many ppl running around here thinking they were a plastic dolls so how did she not know what this line would bring? I get it, the intelligent ppl understand she’s a bird but realize the ignorant ones still have the right to vote. So it was a joke that anyone opposing Romney are lazy b(I)(t)ches? I guess everybody on here are some lazy bs because we aren’t in her tax bracket? It’s crazy that ppl take talented ppl serious af. Taking everything they say to the T then judge them but these wack behind entertainers get pardoned. So because she thinks she’s a cartoon she can’t be taken serious by the rest of the world? If that’s the case why was Charlie S. considered a person who was Winning but Tony Davis wasn’t thought of until his death? GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Why is my president even entertaining this trick. Chile this whole thing is messy…

+2Yes Gawd, Keke Wyatt is crazy af! So happy she is seeking help chile Reply:September 12th, 2012 at 12:35 am

Ikr. It’s almost as if ignorance is smiled upon while the rational things are dismissed. She known beforehand what the deal was. Then have this song released so close to elections. She wrote this hella long ago so she knowns exactly how ppl would see this but wants to defend it now. Girl sit down. Her & her crew is wack but chile they richer than me so I guess…

I doubt he is aware. They asked him about them and brought them to his attention. I am sure someone did that research on his behalf and briefed him prior to the interview. But then again, it’s is mind boggling that a black woman who lives in the states where race is an issue would decide to make light of such an issue. It was not sarcasm at all. It was a shot at other black women, I believe it and stick to it. But then again, this is a woman who degrades black women in her music. She is a coconut, like lil Wayne her boss.

One day people will realise that this kind of recklessness is not being real and is definitely not idgaf or Y.O.L.O. It is an iinsecurity and being lost. There are people who are flawed but Will never mislead you into their way of life, because they are aware of how painful it is and where it can lead you. Those who sell and persuade you into their destructive lives and pass them on as okey are ones to watch out for, especially when they make that conscious decision to do so.

The way you simple people can just talk down on celebrities is just disrespectful and wrong. Ever wonder why there are so many different genres of music? You don’t HAVE to listen to certain kids of music.

Yes I am a Nicki fan, however, despite what you’ll might think, I am very political. I was shocked that Nicki would be so stupid to forget how easily persuaded people can be. Disappointed that she was not mature enough at the time to realize you don’t make comments like that this close to the election.

However also as a fan of this woman, I do know that Nicki has voiced many times where she stands with politics and other serious matters. Nicki is a Democrat and she is voting for Barack Obama.

Her comment: “You lazy ******* are ******* up the economy.” was actually mocking Romney.
Forgive her for having an inappropriate sense of humor.

I know it’s stupid, but it actually made me tear up a little that Obama even responded to that question. I may be sensitive to my environment but I’m just saying there’s something wrong in the world when the President of the United States addresses Nicki Minaj and Young Jeezy, both rappers who polute our youth and music in general. Maybe it’s a popularity thing. Either way he’s our president. This is a disgrace.

Makes me think about society in general…If you’ve ever read “Brave New World”, it’s really is turning into that…day by day everytime you watch a 2 chains video instead of reading about the U.S. Ambassador in Libya being killed.

@ gray
why are people always telling celebrities not to get involved or voice their opinion on different issues in this country that affect their lives just as it affect yours. you speak as if they are not citizens of this couintry or they don’t pay taxes when the fact is they more than likely pay more than you do, yet they shoud be quiet. freedom of speech!!!
